Water main break leaves homes without service north of downtown San Antonio
Pipe ruptured on W. Woodlawn between North Flores and Blanco
Published On: Jan 28 2013 07:16:46 AM CST
Residents in a near North Side neighborhood were left without water service after a pipe ruptured early Monday morning.
SAWS crews responded to the water main break around 1 a.m. on West Woodlawn between North Flores and Blanco.
Crews had to dig up the line underneath West Woodlawn, so the eastbound lanes of the road were shut down.
SAWS says the water main break affected six homes and a nursing home. Repairs were expected to be complete by 7 a.m.

text: Support for Nursing We have all the "Puzzle Pieces" Legacy is a leader in providing appropriate systems and state-of-the-art equipment to support your practice. As one nurse put it, "Legacy has all the puzzle pieces, Cerner, PACS, Awarix and Pyxis." E-lifts Nurses need to protect their bodies. Legacy understands and cares enough to invest more than $1.3 million in electric ceiling lifts (e-lifts). The lifts have been installed in every appropriate unit throughout the Legacy system, such as the Kern ICU and the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon at Legacy Good Samaritan and the Oregon Burn Center at Legacy Emanuel. Legacy Salmon Creek was constructed with lifts already in place. The lifts help both employees and patients—they reduce back strain for nurses and help staff mobilize patients faster. They also improve workflow and increase efficiency. E-lifts are also a big source of patient satisfaction. Says one Legacy nurse: "The patients don't feel stressed because we aren't tugging and pulling on them." Electronic communication boards Legacy is the first healthcare system on the West Coast to invest in a new technology that really makes life easier for staff nurses. The Awarix Real Time Patient Care Communication Boards use HIPAA-compliant symbols to visually show the status of every patient and room on a unit. No more having to find a chart or looking for orders in the electronic medical record—a simple glance at the board tells you patient status (such as observation, new orders, discharged) and room status (clean, dirty, occupied). The Awarix boards are integrated with the electronic medical record and Legacy's other clinical systems, so the data displayed is real time and accurate, but requires very little data entry. These electronic boards are replacing the white boards in all Legacy inpatient units. Electronic medical record Legacy has chosen the Epic system for its integrated electronic medical record. Electronic medical record documentation is used at all Legacy sites (known as E-Chart). Legacy Salmon Creek, however, uses a completely paperless medical record. This type of record keeping provides an extra level of patient safety as it forces standardized functions and work flows, such as cross-checking of orders, medications and allergies. This technology is being implemented at all Legacy hospitals and clinics. Our nurses are using computers to document nursing care, organize hourly tasks and schedule procedures. In addition to improving patient safety, lectronic documentation streamlines care, as many people can access the chart at the same time. Return to the Top Medication management Medications on Legacy patient care units are distributed by the all-Pyxis model which streamlines medical delivery and provides one location for nurses to find IV solutions with additives, routine and PRNs and patient-specific medications. The Pyxis medication profile is linked to the electronic medical record and provides pharmacist order review and verification, including checking for allergies, drug interactions and contraindications. The caregiver is also able to print out a complete, timed transaction record to double-check charting accuracy. The result: improved efficiency for you and improved safety for the patient. Carl Peterson Clinical Education Center The 4,500 square-foot Carl Peterson Clinical Education Center is one of the leading providers of hospital-based clinical education in the region. The center features classrooms, simulation labs, clinical suites and a kitchen used for catering seminars and workshops. Highlights include one of the most sophisticated simulation labs in Portland. There are three SimMan mannequins, a birthing simulator, a neonate simulator and a child simulator. The Center is also used for orientations, in-services, continuing education courses, leadership development classes, skills and electronic documentation training sessions.

Solution: Can football at PSU.
Penn State AD: New coach be could named in a 'matter of days'
Penn State is expected to hire a new coach within a matter of days rather than weeks, athletic director Dave Joyner said Thursday.
Penn State is looking to replace Bill O'Brien, who left after two years on the job to take the head coaching job with the Houston Texans. The school announced that defensive assistant Larry Johnson will be the interim coach until a replacement is named.
Joyner will chair a six-person search committee to help find the next coach.
"Our job is going to be to select the next great football coach at Penn State and to get the best football coach available," Joyner said, via ESPN.com. "We've begun a very robust search that will bring us a great next football coach."
GLICKSMAN: Breaking down Bill O'Brien's decision to leave Penn State for the Houston Texans
Joyner declined to say who has interviewed and said a number of head coaches have reached out to Penn State to inquire about the job.
"I think the atmosphere around this search is very much different than the last search," Joyner said. "It's different in that I think it's a lot more attractive at this point."
Solution: Can football at PSU.
People that still dwell on the PSU scandal need to go to therapy.
O'Brien was a temp hire as every top football coach in America turned down Penn State after the scandal. O'Brien was like the 50th pick. no loss with Billy leaving.
Football program should have got the death penalty.
I feel 2 emotions when thinking about this.
The first is that I am so thankful for what O'Brien did for PSU at a time when they needed a stable force in their football program. He has been great for the University and their football team. He helped keep existing players from transferring and he was a draw for new recruits because of his ties with the NFL (look at McGloin! He was an average college QB and somehow got to play in the NFL). O'Brien was a steadying force in a tumultuous environment and I don't think anyone would have been more perfect than him as the face of Penn State football.
My 2nd emotion is of betrayal; because he only stayed for 2 years, and I have to believe that the high school players that he recruited believed that he would be there at least until the bowl sanctions were completed. I have no idea what he told his players about leaving (or WHEN he told them), but I have to believe it was a big shock to all of them. HOWEVER, then I catch myself realizing that this is a profession, like everything else, and he is doing what ANY coach with his NFL background would do. This is a great opportunity for him and he would be foolish to pass it up. Penn State will find another coach, and hopefully the new coach will have the passion, talent, and commitment to move the football program back to its glory days.
So, thank you Bill O'Brien for being a great coach and a great advocate for Penn State; not only it's football program, but for all of the school's activities, like THON, that you also supported. Good luck in your continued professional success! And for all of you people who wanted him to be the next Joe Paterno - get over it - men like Joe Pa only come around once in a lifetime. Joe Pa (and his family), was a mentor, coach, and friend to everyone who passed through the University's gates, and those coaches who give a lifetime commitment to a university is getting rarer every year.
Tom Clements
O'Brien is a fantastic coach and has got more out of mid tier recruits than the Paterno regime was getting out of elite recruits.
Look at receivers under McQueary - Derrick Williams and others floundered and Allen Robinson wasn't shwoing through but under O'Brien, he transformed. QB's looked hardly developed. Devlin and even Morelli could have been much more but Jay Paterno wasn't helping and under O'Brien, McGloin gets to the NFL.
There is still not a stable president or AD and with the next gubernatorial election, and the trials of Spanier, Curley, and Schultz upcoming, PSU will again be put in a negative light, what is going on at Texas is nothing compared to what PSU has gone through. From putting names on the back of the uniforms to the fact that candidates run for the board of trustees to restore the name of Joe Paterno, it is clear that the criticisms and divides are still there, because there is no leadership at the top of the university. Will the next president want to de-emphasize football?
O'Brien just didn't leave, it was reported, he came back to PSU with demands after meetings with the Texans, could have been for a deeper commitment to the football team.
PSU continues to have a complete lack of guidance and leadership at their executive level.
Word got out that OBrien was fed up with the goofball, blind Paterno lovers. Now he has gone from a god to a bum in a week.
PSU fans are pathetic. Embarrassing.
LOL Penn State fans angry at O Brien....
Lyin O'Brien is gone celebrate. Took that dirty bald head off to Houston. Great for Penn State.
Penn State won the lottery with average dull Billy O leaving. Great start to the new Year at Penn State. Pop the champagne corks.
O'Brien did Penn State a huge favor by leaving. O'Brien was just a miserable slob who was imploding.
That article said a ehole lot of nothing. Mack Brown?????
Larry Johnson would be a good fit
Paterno-Dead Billy Baldhead O'Brien-dead gone so now bring in the real coach to get Penn State back on top. Billy O was just a band aid on a cut 2 years ago as no normal coach wanted the job. O'brien couldn't get hired anywhere as a head coach so Penn State stooped low and gave Billy the job by default. Like I stated earlier more than 50 college coaches refused the Penn State job.
Bill O'Brien is a miserable wretch of a frustrated man in way over his bald head. Houston got a lousy Coach who cannot get along with anyone. Good.
Bill O'Brien was just a temp hire anyway till a real college coach would come in and Get Penn State rocking again. Bill o'Brien is more of a bald angry misfit than anything else. 8-4 records with 12 sure wins playing patsies isn't a great coach. Penn State just won their bowl game with Billy O'Brien leaving.
Mike Munchak seems like a no-brainer here. He is a Penn State guy and will be fired next year at Tennessee anyways, so why not transition now. He is a solid enough coach that won't look to move.
To avoid a Paterno's era redux they should hire Petrino. He only likes (young) women.
Hire Chris Kluwe to coach....good fit for PSU
Bill O'Brien will be well rid of PSU. He pulled that program out of the slime and they're treating him like an enemy. Seeing the worst of the Penn State 'supporters' commits cause me to wish him much success in Houston.
Mark Richt -- good fit at PSU
Get the duct tape for the OBrien bashers. Oh wait you can't fix stupid!
Penn State will be so much better off without that misfit miserable slob bald Billy O'brien. Billy was just a temp hire anyway till a real coach could be found.
@dandogwoodStill blathering? Now it is only 49 guys who turned PSU down? Earlier it was 50, so it should be easier to answer the question: Who were the 49 coaches that turned down an offer from Penn State before Bill O'Brien got the job?
@ElvisHitler - Mr. Hitler - The sanctions could have FORCED Penn State to hire a black guy as football coach! Wouldn't that be WORSE than any death penalty?
@GibsonGuitarPlayer227 Football at PSU was the tail wagging the dog and the results were catastrophic. (I think the institution should have been disbanded: scrap the main campus as a magnet and develop the branch campuses, a la SUNY.) Football became PSU's raison d'être, rather than a diversion for a dozen Saturdays/annum. This allowed a monster like Sandusky to operate with impunity--literally, as in giving him use of University football facilities even after suspicions of his crimes had surfaced. That really is what happened--does the leading DC in college ball REALLY "retire" at age 59? Without offers from other schools?! Kids paid the price for PSU's complicity, while the institution emerged more or less unscathed, except for a few years' probation and sanctions, which the NCAA has walked back a bit.
O'Brien got into bed with an institution that knowlingly gave cover to a child-rapist, He held his nose for two years, and bolted to a huge payoff in the NFL. PSU used O'Brien to concoct some phony story of redemption, post JoePa (who was, really, the symptom of what ails PSU, and not the actual disease); O'Brien used PSU. I think the correct phrase for PSU fans is, "thank you." You both got what you wanted, so please can the mawkish tale of "betrayal."
@Ryan1 You are absolutely right! Without a strong, competent president (and AD) PSU will be fraught with problems.
Having worked in two universities & dealt with two presidents, I'm still astounded by the political infighting (sometimes viscous) that occurs in a university environment...... compared with corporate society.
The next coach will need the support of a non-lame-duck president and an AD to shield him from the wearing political machinations of any opposition....and there will always be a lot, particularly from the Paterno acolytes.
@Ryan1 "PSU continues to have a complete lack of guidance and leadership at their executive level."
I know, it's amazing. Paterno was totally culpable, but by no means the only responsible party. Guilty as he was, PSU has so far gotten away with scapegoating him. His family is outraged, not because JoePa was falsely accused, but because PSU violated the law of Omerta. Their day of reckoning will come at the hands of real law-and-order institutions, and not the NCAA, as PSU fans ("enablers") believe.
@dandogwoodLooks like you guys can't keep a coach up there. Word must be out that it is an average job at best.
@dandogwoodBill O'Brien did himself a huge favor by leaving. I guess you guys think that it is still 1986.
@RobertJacke - Sorry Mr. Jacke, they do not like hiring black guys for these jobs.Remember, in America, only the BEST men get the jobs!
@dandogwoodReady to name those 50 coaches yet? Didn't think so.
@dandogwood Yeah, he really screwed up the PSU football program with his crappy coaching and awful recruiting and horrific people skills. What a dumba$$ tool you are and a poor excuse of a human being. See how great things are at PSU when the next coach you hire is the biggest horse's a$$ of them all, Greg Schiano.
@dandogwood You shouldn't want Penn State to be "rocking" again. Last time PSU had any juice as a national program, they allowed a child-rapist to run amok in their facilities.
Maybe PSU should concentrate on other priorities than football.
@dandogwoodYeah, you have been babbling about how Bill O'Brien was only a temporary hire, which, in the big picture, all coaches are. Even Joe Paterno was only at PSU temporarily, although his stint was about 137 years. You also wrote on another forum that 50 coaches declined the Penn State job before Bill O'Brien took it, but have avoided telling us who those fifty guys are. Ready to back up your bluster, or you going to evade and avoid some more, and just continue airing your grievances over the coach that has taken up residence under your skin?
O'Brien put your red wagon up in a tree when you were little? Steal your secret girlfriend in high school? 5 mg of Lexipro would do you wonders.
Leave the guy alone. Both parties benefitted over the last two years. He is leaving for a job that he prefers. Good for him.
@dandogwoodYou are right. He is a paper cutout from the Cheatriots that Ernie Adams made.
@dandogwoodMore sour grapes. On another forum you told us that 50 coaches turned PSU down before Bill O'Brien was hired. Who were those 50 coaches? Yeah, that's what I thought.
@Anon4@GibsonGuitarPlayer227can't argue with factual history, but the people who covered up the awful events are long gone from the university and PSU is doing its best to distance itself. Sandusky is in jail, Paterno was dismissed (now dead) and Schultz and Curley waiting for trials.
What more do you want them to do? Do you want PSU to close up shop? And if you think that this type of awful cover up couldn't happen at any university, you are fooling yourself.
O'Brien owed nothing to PSU per se, but owed everything to the players who put their trust in him--especially those that could have jumped to greener pastures or enrolled. O'Brien left them, and it's those people I feel for, to a degree. College football is a big business and these guys work hard but are paid well for their efforts (fame, tuition, food, clothing, books, nice hotels when travelling, excellent health care, workout facilities, one on one coaching, etc). It's the trade off. NO guarantees, but I think O'Brien is exposed as a liar for insisting for 2 years he wasn't going anywhere then bolting.
@JoeCabot @dandogwood How dumb are you. Every name coach in the country turned Penn State down because of the scandal. If you are that dumb why post on a sports website? Give it up. You seem like an lonely old fart anyway just from your 3000 posts. anyone who posts that often is alone. Sad.
@JoeCabot @dandogwood Listen old man O'Brien was given the job since no one in America wanted it. Get your bald head out of your shriveled butt and come up for some air you senile lonely old goat.
@JohnBellish @dandogwood well at least he didnt cover up decades of child rape
@dandogwood You are following my posts closely enough that you are counting them? Flattering. Every name coach in the country turned PSU down? Now you are making stuff up as you go. Oh, and you still have not named the 50 coaches that you claim refused the job. Seems like your confidence is lagging. Keep posting though. Your rambling revisionist history is entertaining.
@Rickapolis Not arguing. Egging him on and enjoying watching him back himself into a corner. I guess that he also thinks that my avatar is actually me.
@JoeCabot Never argue with a troll, Joe, you are wasting time. You see how intelligent his comments are.
@dandogwood Who were those 50 guys that did not want the job? Seems like a simple question.

Fit great but.... I love the color and fit of these jeans, the only thing is, they are "distressed" look, which I like, but the first day I wore them the "dremmeling" ripped and there is no backing behind the yarn, so there is a big hole in them. I am seeking a seamstress to add some backing to them so that I can still enjoy them without ruining them more. March 14, 2014
Love these jeans I love these jeans true to size fit awesome and don't stretch out and sag in the butt I like my butt and want to show it off I live the X-Long and XX-Long choices since I'm 5'11" thank god jeans that finally fit!!!!! March 4, 2014

Though it leaves much to be desired as a place to be, so to speak, the food is excellent. Who would think to get a breakfast with what they call "southern fried chicken" and waffles, eggs and potatoes on the same plate? Being that I live in the south, I had to try it.
Even if you aren't near the area, it is well worth the drive. And the next time you watch a movie that mentions it, you will remember that breakfast every time!!

Not a place for events – I have been reviewing hotels to host a personal event and the Cypress seemed like the spot to go to. Well trying to get anyone from catering/events to speak with you is a nightmare! I went with another hotel instead and we had a great time. I just found out that a friend's company tried to arrange an event there and the company rep was stood up when she went for her scheduled appointment. Obvously the Cypress is not intersted in hosting events!
Extremely Pleasant Experience – As soon as we walked in, the enjoyment began. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. We enjoyed the complimentary wine served in the lounge with other guests. Our room was nice and the bed very comfortable. Their restaurant is fabulous. There is not one thing I could complain about. We had a great relaxing weekend.
Hip safari-themed boutique hotel caters to a vibrant young crowd and even the occasional rock star. – The Scene
Decidedly different from Silicon Valley standards, this chic nine-story hotel attracts business travelers during the week and couples looking for a local romantic getaway on weekends. The feel is not unlike that of a fancy bed-and-breakfast or an exclusive resort in some trendy destination spot. Still, it's only a 20-minute drive to most of Silicon Valley's high-tech centers and major tourist attractions.
The Details
Opened in 2002, this immaculate hotel is highlighted by a cozy lobby area with red velvet couches, a gas fireplace and views of a large outdoor fountain. The state-of-the-art fitness center features cardio machines equipped with individual remote-controlled televisions. Wireless Internet access is available on the hotel's first floor. The spacious rooms reflect the safari motif with a colorful array of leopard and zebra prints on the beds, floors and walls. The posh rooms each include high-speed Internet access, large work desk with ergonomic chair and leopard-print bathrobes.
Pleasantly surprised – I went their with my sig other for our anniversary - it was absolutely wonderful!! Everyone was very helpful and the restaurant - which is now called Park Place - was also very good. The room was beautiful and it had a lot of nice extra touches - bath robes, luxurious fabrics on the bed and windows and a great shower. We purchased the Simply Romantic package and for 189 we got the room, a free Jazz cd, a bottle of champagne, chocolates, a $50 credit to the restaurant, valet parking and a free movie. What a deal!! I'll definitely be staying there again - even though I only live in SF. They also have a business center, workout room and a pool - all great amenities!!
before i visited the hotel personally, i thought the hotel must be very expensive (based on what i've seen from its website) because it just looked so charming from the website. after i visited the hotel restaurant Helios, i was so impressed with the atmosphere, i decided to have my guests staying at the hotel for my wedding. it was an excellent choice. everyone was so surprised to stay at this unique hotel. cypress has its own character and is unlike any other usual hotels you've stayed. and i got lots of compliments for choosing cypress.

LINCOLN — Talent rarely is in question for the Texas volleyball program. Since Jerritt Elliott took over as head coach after leaving Southern California in 2001, the Longhorns' roster has been stocked full of All-Americans.
But before Texas could make greatness a routine, it had to embrace a routine to be great.
That's not ambiguous, fortune-cookie coachspeak, said junior opposite hitter Haley Eckerman. Before last season's run to the national championship, the Longhorns had the reputation of a team that couldn't find the poise and composure to match its impressive physical skill.
By embracing the day-to-day steps to greatness, Texas reached college volleyball's peak.
"Especially this season, and toward the end of the past season, we've steadied out," said Eckerman, who leads Texas with 4.18 kills per set. "We're not chaotic or all over the place. We've learned to kind of go through the basics and focus on what we need to do to win, and not (focus on) what the other team is doing."
It's a mature statement from a mature team that has the experience to match its talent. No. 1 Texas (25-2), the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament, comes to this weekend's Lincoln Regional with five starters back from last year's title club. The returnees include Eckerman, the two-time Big 12 player of the year, and senior All-American outside hitter Bailey Webster.
Knowing that the pressure to repeat has put cracks in the foundation of previous champions, Texas shied away from discussing the big picture coming into the season. Instead, the Longhorns braced for another title run by playing a brutal nonconference schedule. They lost at Hawaii in the season opener, but beat Penn State and Stanford, then the top two ranked teams in the country, in Austin the next weekend.
"We knew, especially at the beginning of the season, there was a lot of talk about that. 'Are we going to repeat?' " Webster said. "But, as a team, we didn't speak of it. We just knew that we needed to focus on the Big 12 because that's what we had at first. We focused on that and accomplished that goal. Like we do every year, we just set goals for ourselves. Our next goal is to win the championship."
Despite bringing back so many returners from 2012, Texas had to reform an identity this season. Senior setter Hannah Allison had to hold off a challenge from freshman Chloe Collins to keep the starting job; freshman middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu stepped in to replace departed senior Sha'Dare McNeal; and a bevy of hungry, prep All-Americans keep the starters from complacency in workouts. It's added up to 21 straight wins for Texas.
If Texas gets by American (34-2) Friday evening, the Longhorns will need to win a rematch in order to reach their fifth final four in six seasons. Texas beat Nebraska in five sets in Austin on Sept. 22 and won a five-setter with San Diego on Aug. 31.
When asked Thursday how he expects his team to handle a potential showdown with its former conference rival, Elliott calmly flipped the script, implying the Longhorns wouldn't be the ones playing with the weight of expectations.
Dealing with the spotlight, he said, is another routine his team has grasped.
"We've been through what Nebraska's going through right now," he said. "It's been awhile since they've gotten to the final four, and they're at home, and they've got a lot of pressure to be able to please these fans. We've been through this, and we know what our routines are, and we'll use that to our advantage."

Stim Settings
Other Name: Bioness® StimRouter™ Neuromodulation System
Sham Comparator: SR-Control
Control electrical stimulation and pain medication during first three months after randomization, and SR electrical stimulation and pain medication for the following nine months.
Device: Control ES and pain medication during first 3 months (Bioness)
The stimulation program settings for this arm are as follows:
Stim Settings
Other Name: Bioness® StimRouter™ Neuromodulation System
Detailed Description:
One hundred twenty-six (126) adult (≥ 22 years) subjects who have severe intractable chronic pain of peripheral nerve origin associated with post traumatic/post surgical neuralgia persisting for 3 months or longer and an average chronic pain level of at least 5 on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, where such pain is attributable to a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, will be recruited from U.S. outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics.
After screening, subjects who were confirmed to be eligible for the study and provided informed consent will have a pain level assessment period for approximately one week then come back for the Baseline/Implantation visit. Subjects will be trained on and required to complete a patient diary of pain intensity level for at least 7 consecutive days prior to baseline. The randomization and programming will take place approximately two weeks after implantation. Subjects in the treatment group will receive electrical stimulation and pain medication. In contrast, subjects in the control group will receive control stimulation and pain medication.
The plan is to have the parallel portion of the study run for approximately 12 weeks (or 3 months) after randomization. Then, subjects in the control group will cross over to the treatment group for nine months of electrical stimulation; the subjects in the treatment group will have nine additional months of treatment. While the end of the study is approximately 12 months after randomization, the primary efficacy analysis will be based on the data collected at the end of the 3-month follow-up evaluation.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|22 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults (≥ 22 years) suitable for an implanted electrode for pain relief.
- Subjects who are able to give informed consent and to understand and comply with study requirements.
- Subjects who have severe intractable chronic pain of peripheral nerve origin associated with post traumatic/post surgical neuralgia for ≥ 3 months (i.e., intractable to pain medication).
- Subjects who are able to tolerate skin surface stimulation (TENS).
- Subjects who have a worst chronic pain level in the last 24 hours ≥ 5/10 (on 0-10 NRS) where such pain is attributable to a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system.
- Subjects who are on a stable dose of pain medications for at least four weeks prior to screening and willing and able to maintain an equivalent dosage of their current pain medications from randomization to 3-month follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who are not willing and able to maintain stable dosages of their pain medications from randomization to 3-month follow-up.
- Subjects with a pain condition that could be confused with their peripheral neuropathic pain or that is more severe than their peripheral neuropathic pain.
- Subjects who, for implantation in the trunk, have an implanted demand-type cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator.
- Subjects who have a metal implant in the area for StimRouter implantation without Sponsor approval. Maintain a minimum separation distance of 6 inches (15 cm) between the StimRouter system and all other active implanted devices and metallic implants.
- Subjects who require, or are likely to require, diathermy at the implant site.
- Subjects who require, or are likely to require, therapeutic ultrasound at the implant site.
- Subjects who have a cancerous lesion present near the target stimulation point or near to where the StimRouter user patch will adhere.
- Subjects who are known or suspected to have a nickel allergy.
- Subjects with bleeding disorders or active anticoagulation that cannot be stopped for a few days close to the time of the surgical procedure.
- Subjects who decline to provide written consent or follow-up.
- Subjects who are pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are breastfeeding during the study period.

If might not feel like it when you step outside, but the NHL regular season is about to get cranked up. The Panthers enter the season surrounded by questions, here we provide answers to three of the biggest.
The Panthers are looking to put last season's 48-game nightmare behind them as they embark on their 20th Anniversary campaign and year four of Dale Tallon's "blueprint" under new ownership and as a member of the newly formed Atlantic Division.
The Panthers are hoping to build their first winning streak of the season by taking a game from the tired Buffalo Sabres. Can Florida gain it's first road victory of the season?
An historic showdown from Sunrise tonight as the Cats host New Jersey in the final game of Stanley Cup Quarterfinal action
The Panthers and Devils are tied at one game apiece; can the Cats retake home ice advantage with a win tonight?
It's finally time. Stephen Weiss enters his first ever playoff game against warhorse Martin Brodeur, looking for his 100th playoff victory.
The Panthers try to close the gap on the 2 seed, tonight in Sunrise against the slumping Bruins
The Panthers spoiled the Islanders' home opener and the Isles will be looking to take revenge tonight in Sunrise. Since that game, the Isles have won 3 of 4 and the Cats have won 2 of 5.
While the Sabres didn't make as many changes as the Panthers this off-season, new owner Terry Pegula showed he is not afraid to spend money, going after high priced free agents including Christian Ehrhoff and putting his team up against the cap.
The Cats meet the Caps for the first of six games this season. The Panthers will be coming off of their win in Tampa Bay's home opener, while the Capitals have been resting a few days after getting off to great start, winning their first four games.

The IFA program was enacted by House Bill 1 of the 75th Legislature. The program provides assistance to school districts in making debt service payments on qualifying bonds or lease-purchase agreements. Bond or lease-purchase proceeds must be used for the construction or renovation of an instructional facility.
IFA Program Description (PDF, 31 KB)
Note: A separate program provides additional assistance to school districts for newly constructed instructional facilities during the initial two years of operation. Contingent upon available funding, the New Instructional Facility Allotment (NIFA) program provides support for opening a new campus through a reimbursement of up to $250 per student in average daily attendance in the first year of operation of the new campus, plus up to $250 for each additional student in the second year of operation.

I have searched for this issue and have only found 1 topic, also on this forum, but it did not really clarify my problem.
My Iphone crashes nearly instantly when i insert my SIMcard (not an official carrier).
I insert it, tries to search for signal, and then crashes
after the crash it restarts and the battery shows 10% battery left, even tho it was fully charged before i put my sim in.
i take my sim out again, restart and everything works again, and battery indicates full again.
my Iphone specs are:
model MA712LL (1G iPhone 8GB)
modem FW 04.05.04_G
If more info is needed i'll give it
It's jailbroken and unlocked with Quickpwn 2.2.5-2
I have tryed alot, different programs etc, i have no clue how to fix this issue.
One last thing: I do not have Wifi at home
Thanks in advance.

Probably a dumb question since most SSDs now do...but does this one have TRIM support? I've checked 3 different retailers and none of them mention it.
Yeah, this is actually one of the better ones on the market. Bestbuy sells it for $299. Any SSD that is MLC and has a Sandisk driving is prime.
Intel is on most people's top 5 list of SSD makers. Samsung has probably been rated down after the 840 was released, but their recently displaced 830 series was great. I've had an 830 for about a year of constant use and so far, so good. If you want to minimize data-loss risk, Intel is probably worth paying a bit more.

Here we demonstrate the HaloTag® Protein reporter fused to truncated human CD59 at the amino terminus can be efficiently expressed on the extracellular surface of mammalian cells. Using a non-permeable HaloTag® Alexa488 Ligand and a permeable HaloTag® TMR Ligand, we were able to separate the surface pool and the intracellular pool of the fusion protein. We were also able to monitor bidirectional trafficking of the HaloTag® GPI fusion chimera in real time and demonstrate the effect of different conditions on trafficking. Data of immunocytochemical analysis using anti-HaloTag® antibody confirmed our live cell imaging results. Fluorescently labeled protein pools were further analyzed using SDS-PAGE, fluoroimaging, and Western blot. As was expected, only the fusion proteins containing the N-terminal signal peptide and the proper GPI-anchoring sequence can be labeled with both cell-permeant and -impermeant ligands. Taken together our results indicate that the HaloTag® Technology can be used to study trafficking of GPI-anchored proteins and can be applied to both life science research and potentially drug development research.

Throttle Position Sensor
What is a Throttle Position Sensor and where is it Located?
An important part of the engine management system of your vehicle is the throttle position sensor, commonly abbreviated and referred to as a TPS sensor or switch. This sensor is usually mounted onto the side of the throttle body and is used to monitor the position of the plate inside the throttle body, i.e. how open or closed it is. The throttle body is one component of the fuel injection system; it is essentially a valve used to control the amount of air entering into the engine. The driver controls the position of this plate through the accelerator or gas pedal, either directly by cable, or electronically which is known as "drive by wire". The more you press down on the accelerator pedal, the more this throttle plate opens, allowing for more air to enter the engine and thus the vehicle to go faster. Conversely, when you slow down, your throttle plate closes and the amount of air flowing into your engine is decreased.
The engine control unit / module (ECM, ECU, or PCM) uses the information that is sent to it from the throttle position sensor, along with input from other sensors, to calculate engine load and control many things such as fuel and ignition timing, as well as automatic transmission shift points. A properly functioning throttle position sensor (TPS) is crucial for the ECU to maintain good fuel efficiency and engine performance.
Throttle Position Sensor Types & Failure
There are two major types of throttle position sensors used on vehicles today: contact type and non-contact type. Contact type (potentiometer) throttle position sensors are connected mechanically to the throttle body, and this type was once the industry standard. Many modern vehicles now use non-contact sensors, such as a Hall effect sensor. Although contact style throttle body sensors are more prone to failure, all throttle position sensors can fail over time. They are frequently exposed to high temperatures and vibration, and oftentimes the circuit board can crack and soldered connections can fail.
Faulty throttle body position sensors can lead to stalling, rough idle, poor performance and fuel economy. Over time, contact style sensors may develop "dead spots"; this usually results in a hesitation under acceleration. You can check for dead spots by monitoring voltage output, watching for jumps or dips with either a scan tool or multi-meter. A multi-meter is also useful for checking the power supply and ground circuit which will aid in locating the cause of the problem. Most TPS issues will be accompanied by a CEL, or check engine light and error code. Common OBDII Check Engine Codes related to throttle position sensors (TPS) include:
P0120 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction
P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem
P0122 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Low Input
P0123 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit High Input
P0124 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Intermittent
Because the throttle position sensor is such a critical component of your car or truck, making sure that it is working properly is especially important. If your current TPS has failed, then a replacement should be obtained and installed as soon as possible.
Replacing your Throttle Position Sensor
Replacing a faulty TPS can be easier than you think; it can be done on most applications with basic hand tools. Some applications may require fine adjustment of the new throttle position switch (TPS). A good repair manual will take you step by step through the process.
Need a Throttle Position Sensor Replacement?
If the throttle position switch (TPS) on your vehicle goes bad it could cause a poor / erratic running engine with little or no power. If you are in need of a throttle position sensor replacement, then you have come to the right place! At 1A Auto, we have replacement throttle position sensors for many makes and models, all at great prices. Our sensors are high quality aftermarket units and are designed to directly replace the unit for the application for which they are listed – no guesswork on your part!

At the Office 365 launch, Gordon Frazer, managing director of Microsoft UK, gave the first admission that cloud data — regardless of where it is in the world — is not protected against the USA PATRIOT Act. . . . Frazer explained that, as Microsoft is a U.S.-headquartered company, it has to comply with local laws (the United States, as well as any other location where one of its subsidiary companies is based).
Though he said that "customers would be informed wherever possible", he could not provide a guarantee that they would be informed — if a gagging order, injunction or U.S. National Security Letter permits it.
He said: "Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company".
While it has been suspected for some time, this is the first time Microsoft, or any other company, has given this answer.
